Emphasis was upon the difficulties confronting Chiefs of small or medium-sized installations, since they must handle a peculiarly wide range of problems. Included were case studies serving to remind outgoing chiefs of various operational approaches and techniques, but more time was devoted to policy, coordination, management, reporting, and administrative responsibilities of the Chief of Station, both within CIA and in the government at large, at home and abroad. Special attention was given to counterinsurgency.The bulk of the course is given in lectures and question periods conducted by officials responsible for the missions, functions, programs, and services discussed. A few key items of suggested reading are included, and bibliographies of suggested reading tailored to the individual's assignment are offered for those who want them.## ACHIEVEMENT RECORDThis is a certificate of attendance.

This was his first full year as general deputy during which he still retained responsibility for a major, sensitive counterintelligence complex. Nevertheless, during my frequent absences, Mr. Bagley was called upon to act for me and he did so most effectively. Those aspects of his work involving decisions on expenditures of both funds and manpower show him to be sufficiently cost conscious yet this is tempered by a better than average awareness of the operational value to the Agency (or lack thereof) of such expenditures. Mr. Bagley has been selected to become COS of a large European station with excellent potential for Soviet Bloc operations. In my view, this appointment is additional testimony of the high regard in which he is held by his professional colleagues. In recognition of his outstanding work in SB Division, Mr. Bagley has been recommended for promotion to GS-17.David E. MurphyChief, Soviet Bloc DivisionTennent H.

8 July 1966MEMORANDUM IN LIEU OF FITNESS REPORT - 1 April 1965 -31 March 1966SUBJECT: BAGLEY, Tennent H.Deputy Chief, SB Division, DDPDOB 11-11-25, GS-16, SD: DEmployee Serial Number - 056043From the beginning of the reporting period until 9 September 1965, Mr. Bagley continued as Chief, Counterintelligence Group, SR Division. Mr. Bagley was then appointed Deputy Chief, SR Division and has remained in that position. He has served as Acting Division Chief on several occasions including a period of two months in 1965 when I made an extensive visit to FE Division stations.In Mr. Bagley's previous position as Chief, Counter- intelligence Group, he completed the establishment of this group as an effective mechanism for providing support and direction to CS operations against the Soviet Intelligence Services. His imprint can be seen in the functional organization of the various branches of the group which now enables us to concentrate on those aspects of KGB and GRU operations which are essential to the comprehensive and aggressive program we have underway to penetrate these key Soviet targets. I have been particularly impressed by Mr. Bagley's ability to relate the goals of these operational programs to the capabilities of his subordinates. In fact, his appreciation of their strengths and weaknesses enabled him to place the very best of his officers in key positions in the CI Group where for the most part they remain today. Their performance is still characterized by the high sense of discipline and professionalism imbued in them by Mr. Bagley during his service as their chief. I have also been struck by the spirit of loyalty permeating this group even though Mr. Bagley's associates were often driven at a pace which would have severely tested the supervisor/subordinate relationship in most other mits.. At the same time, he afforded the senior officers of the CI Group every opportunity for the exercise of initiative and imaginative leadership at their own levels. On the

Hehas easily mastered those substantive areas of the divi-sion's work with which he had no previous association orencountered only occasionally as Chief, CI Group. Thisis especially true of the reports and requirements areaand of certain collection activities.Mr. Bagley's performance in the position of deputychief has indeed been outstanding. I would accord hậmhartishishmaping and expand theparticularly high marks for the energy and enthusiasm heorientation programs conducted by the division as onemeans of conveying to CS officers outside the divisionsome understanding of the Soviet target and our methodsof operating against it. Mr. Bagley continues to be sen-sitive to costs whether one is speaking of funds or man-hours. Ile does not lightly undertake the expenditure ofcither. My very positive evaluation of Mr. Bagley's po-tential for senior leadership in the Clandestine Servicehas not changed. Ile is a magnificent intelligence officerwhose keen intellect and rapidly growing appreciation of the"art of the possible" mark him as one of the best officersin our service. It is my intention to recommend him forpromotion at an early opportunity.Tennent H. BagleyDate 8 July 1966(David E. Murphy)Chief, Soviet Bloc DivisiónReviewing Official:W.

Manner of performance of managerial or supervisory duties must be described applicable.Although I have known and worked closely with Mr. Bagley many times over the past ten years, this is the first time he has served directly under me. This experience has confirmed my belief that he is without question one of the most gifted counterintelligence-officers in the Clandestine Services. The past several months have seen many changes in the organization of the SR Division and in its operational responsibilities. It should be noted that Mr. Bagley perhaps more than any other officer in the division contributed heavily to the broad concepts and ideas which took final form in the new organization and the operating instructions which were accepted in the Clandestine Services as a basis for an expanded effort against the overall Soviet target. At the same time he produced a number of specific plans and directives pertaining to the conduct of our operations against the Soviet intelligence services. These directives are representative of the depth of his experience in this field for they cover problems ranging from the often neglected but absolutely essential problem of collecting and recording data on Soviet intelligence officers to a highly imaginative program for increasing our level of contacts with such officers. In whatever he has undertaken in this regard, the quality of imagination is probably the most outstanding but his work would not be as effective as it is were it not for his amazing fund of knowledge concerning the Soviet intelligence services, their personnel, organization and operations, and just as important, awareness of the level and nature of the western counter intelligence effort.## SECTION DCERTIFICATION AND COMMENTS1.

BAGLEY, Tennent HaSECTION C (Continued)This substantive background lends a quality of toughness and realism to his work as a planner and supervisor which is matched by very few others in the Clandestine Services.As a supervisor, Mr. Bagley distinguishes himself by the ability he has to be immensely interested in the details of his subordinates' operations while at the same time leaving to them sufficient freedom of decision and action to carry out their programs without undue interference. He retains control over a large element (there are four branches and 55 employees in the group) and several first class senior subordinates by virtue of their respect for his competence and substance. More important, he infuses them with the same sense of dedication and deep enthusiasm for his work he himself possesses.In his position Mr. Bagley also handles certain sensitive operations directly. All of the qualities of imagination, penetrating insight, energy and protessional knowledge which can be seen in his work as a supervisor are present in his case work. the has also demonstrated that he is a superb agent handler with a fresh, common sense approach to tradecraft problems. I have also seen him display a constant readiness to sacrifice his own comfort, leisure and private affairs to the demands of the operational situation. ile is not long discouraged in the most difficult circumstances and his natural optimism, alert mind and special kind of clan work constantly to discover new avenues of approach to whatever operational problems he faces.I would describe his cost consciousness by noting that it is simply, foreign to his nature in both a personal and professional sense to use funds thoughtlessly. He has demonstrated that he considers the expenditure of operational funds must be related to a commensurate gain in terms of our operational objectives.

Manner of performance of managerial or supervisory duties must be described, if applicable.Mr. Bagley is an exceptionally skilled officer in the CE field. His knowledge of the Soviet intelligence services is almost unique in the Agency. After accomplishing the assigned task of reorganizing his Branch into a streamlined and operationally active unit, Mr. Bagley is now in the process of actively directing the planning and implementation of an aggressive effort on a world-wide basis against the Soviet intelligence services. Although in his present position only four months he has shown considerable imagination and initiative. He carries out his managerial duties in a proficient manner. He does however tend to avoid necessary but perhaps unpromising tasks. Inclined to be intolerant of those who do not meet the high standards he sets for himself, Mr. Bagley can be uncompromising in professional matters to the detriment of his relationships with others.# SECTION D## CERTIFICATION AND COMMENTS### BY EMPLOYEE1.

His services were sought after by this Division as Chief of its CI Branch. He was instructed to reorganize and redirect the Division's CI effort and to reorganize the Branch into an aggressive operational unit. He has tackled this with his characteristic aggressiveness and competence and has done extremely well in this undertaking.

During his four and a half years here his performance has been highly professional and consistently outstanding. His absence will be really felt by the Station,2.  Endowed with a high degree of intelligence, judgment, imagination and operational skill, and with fluent French, German and useful Russian, he has worked in every aspect of Station endeavor, ranging from the proper organization of Station records and the planning of operations to the assessing and successful recruiting and running of agents.3.  In his primary responsibility as Station CI and Sovsat referent, has made unique contributions to KUBARK's approach to and knowledge of the field of Soviet and Polish CI, including the detection and monitoring of RIS illegal networks, and he has played a significant role in almost every major operation conducted by the Station over the last four years. His work has been repeatedly commended by Headquarters.4.  Though natural bent is in the field of CE, in which he excels, he has acquitted himself equally well in other areas of Station activity. He is particularly adroit at the analysis, planning and management of operations and, from time to time, has supervised all Station operational activity with superior executive ability. His contribution to the development of Station liaison, through inquiries, follow-ups and special studies prepared to stimulate the local service to action in shall's behalf, has been indispensable and unquestionably an important factor in the growth of Swiss-KUBARK liaison.
